I am running BSD 2.0.1, PPP connection on dialin, no modifications to the config dialin script provided by BSD. Everything runs great... so what is the problem??? Here is the problem, sometimes whan a user logs out of the system, it prohibits other users from logging in on that PPP interface. Typing a netstat -i results in the following: (some entries removed) xir0* 1500 <link3> 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 0 lo0 1536 <link4> 12099 0 lo0 1536 127 127.0.0.1 12099 0 sl0* 308 <link5> 0 ppp0* 512 205.241.28 dragon 90787 1 88099 ppp1* 512 <link7> Notice on the PPP0 interface, it looks like it is still attached. What can I do to fix this problem???? Any suggestions very much appreciated... Thanks Steve Lim BSD Newbie.... lim@gatewy.net
